Score one for the consumers! Unethical marketer takes notice

Score one for all the consumers out there trying to look up honest reviews of websites and their products. Not too long ago, I posted on my blog here about some unethical practices being done by a handful of internet marketers, even one well known one from the Warrior Forums. Some marketers are trying to promote their products by creating sites made simply to review their own product (their own review of their own product, but under a different name), while others try to cover up their behinds a little more by having a worker they have or a friend write a good review for them.

In this particular case, the owner of this membership site had a very good review that came up as number one on Google. The review started by saying how skeptical they were of such Adsense pre-made sites and so forth, and that they never thought Adsense would work until they found this particular membership site and found it great. Ironically, I did a search on this guy and saw that he not only had ties to the membership site, but that he also had articles on profiting from Adsense and even had another site (also linked together) that sold an Adsense guide long before this new membership site came about. So he obviously wasn't new to Adsense like he claimed, and he wasn't a random person reviewing the site.

Well, here's the good news! The person who owns the site must be reading this blog too, because shortly after I posted the details of it here, that review page was taken down and is nowhere to be seen.

This is just a word of encouragement that if you see someone trying to scam you out of your money -- even if they are well established, do something about it. Even one voice can have a huge positive effect.
